What does Dan Aykroyd, Ashton Kutcher, and Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica's Number 6), and Soviet Dictaor Joseph Stalin and I all have in common?

We have syndactyly (webbed toes). 

Amazing that I hate communism and I have something in common with the leader of the Soviet Union during the height of it's power.

No, no it is not.  P-51A/B/C, minus the As with 20mms, had 350 rpg for the two inboard mgs, 280 for the two outboard, P-51Ds had 400 rpg for the two inboard guns, 270 rpg for the four outboard ones.  None of those belts measure 9 yards long.  Also, the phrase pre-dates WWII.

My dad got the tip of the middle finger just past the nail on his right hand chopped off by a knife when he was 4. His finger grew back. You would never know by looking at his hand except that his middle finger is the same length as his ring finger.

A cube is an ideal solid which has SIX equal sides and a total of EIGHT corners. I know.. you already know that.

If you trace lines from opposing diagonal corners of the cube, you can see the edges of two more ideal solids: a pair of intersecting four sided tetrahedrons.

The volume of the area where the two tetrahedrons intersect is also another ideal solid, in this case an octahedron which has EIGHT equal sides and SIX corners.

neato..

Here's a little illustration I made:

Prince Andrew, Duke of York served as a Helicopter Pilo5 during the Falklands War. His mission other than Medical Flights was to act as a decoy for Anti-Ship Missles. 

Yup, a member of the British Royal Family placed his life on the line as a missle decoy to protect troop ships.

If you get a flat tire on a lawn mower, small trailer , etc and it's lost the bead/Seal , simply wrap a ratcheting tie-down all the way around the center of the tread to compress it. Then apply air from the compressor into the valve stem.  It'll pop right back on and inflate.  DO NOT inflate further than the 'pop' until you release the ratchet strap.
